About this map

Anthonies Mill serves as a central landmark in this 1969 Missouri landscape, situated near the winding waters of Brazil Creek and Little Courtois Creek. The map documents a rugged transition between the Courtois National Forest and Meramec State Park, highlighting a rural economy tied to both resource extraction and community faith. Evidence of the region's mining history is prominent, with the Pea Ridge Mine in the north and the Old Christ Mine further south.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Record Cem, Swan Cem, and Metcalf Cem. Religious life is anchored by Brazil Ch, while the terrain itself is organized into blocks like Pea Ridge and Liberty. The presence of a major Pipeline cutting through the forest and a Radio Tower near the northern boundary reflects the infrastructure of the late 1960s overlaid on a traditional landscape of hollows and branches.
